You know, that's the same argument us V6 owners had back in the 5th gen days when I owned one. "Its fast, just doesn't have much down low". Funny to see the Coyote fans arguing it now.

Look, I think the Coyote is a great engine, but I'm sorry, it makes almost no more peak power than the LT1, has much less low end torque, is bigger, is heavier, and is also less fuel efficient. But sure, go ahead and argue for the Coyote.
Good call. That’s always why the 3.6 with more HP and torque is slower than the BMW twin and single turbo 3.0s, even accounting for being underrated, both cars should dyno around 300 at the wheels and the BMWs aren’t light, but they have torque down low and flat across the range.
